Yuba college student support services project to serve 140 eligible students

Yuba Community College District received a $272,364 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education under the TRIO Student Support Services Program (CFDA 84.042) for the period September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2026. The award funds comprehensive support services designed to enhance postsecondary educational outcomes for 140 eligible disadvantaged students at Yuba College in Yuba City, California. The program delivers targeted interventions including academic support, financial literacy assistance, and student retention services specifically designed for low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities.

The Student Support Services Program aims to increase student retention and graduation rates while facilitating transfers from two-year to four-year institutions. Through this award, Yuba College will provide services that strengthen academic potential and overall student success in higher education, with particular emphasis on improving completion rates among underserved populations within the California community college system. The one-year project period reflects the standard funding cycle for new awards under this federal initiative.
